By SOPHIE GABLE, US REPORTER Published: 17:02, 11 October 2025 | Updated: 17:07, 11 October 2025 A seemingly average photo of a babbling brook may just look like an average stream – but a camouflaged bird is hiding in the rocks. Can you spot the little creature?  If you’re ready to put your observation skills and eyesight to the test, …

NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) demonstration has completed its final pass, although there is a chance the system might be reactivated in the second half of 2026. Carried aboard NASA’s Psyche mission, DSOC demonstrated how data encoded in lasers could be reliably transmitted, received, and decoded. On September 2, the final communications pass was made from a distance of …

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR iOS 26 is out now for iPhone users, and many have been reporting problems with Liquid Glass dark mode icons looking crooked. The system renders these icons with a highlight around the edge, and at the wrong angle, an illusion can make them appear tilted. In motion, the effect should be far less noticeable, …

My colleagues didn’t believe me when I told them all my app icons looked slightly crooked after updating my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 and getting Apple’s new Liquid Glass user interface. I told our staff reporter Kyle Barr—an all-round consumer tech guru, mind you—to look at my home screen and tell me that my icons were tilting slightly …

Sydney Sweeney attended the Variety Studio during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6 to promote her film Christy. She wore a gray suit with an unusual exposed sheer corseted midriff. The look came one day after she wore another unusual corseted look to the Christy premiere at TIFF. It’s 2025 and shapewear is no longer merely something to …

Experimental set-up The key components of our experimental set-up are shown in Fig. 1a and Extended Data Fig. 1. Optical subsystem The optical subsystem performs matrix–vector multiplication. The basic components are the optical sources (input vector), a system of fan-out optics to project the light onto the modulator matrix and a system of fan-in optics to project the light onto a …

Typical optical fibres consist of thin, solid glass wires. Tweaking the design could allow them to carry more data over longer distances.Credit: Phillip Hayson/Science Photo Library A new type of hollow optical fibre promises to boost the amount of data that can be carried in each glass strand, and to do so over longer distances. This could help to make …
